PASSIONS: TABITHA'S SOFT SIDE
"I'm sure deep down inside Tabitha can be a warm, compassionate person. I wish that side of her would come out for good, I would love to see Tabitha in love and happy. I'm tired of this whole witchcraft-thing and her silly need to destroy Charity and Miguel. Anyone agree? :-) " -MissyHOST

ATWT: WHAT IS UP WITH JULIA???
"Oh my gosh, what is up with Julia? Who is she to be trying to convince Jack not to go after Carly? Camille, even though she wasn't to keen on Carly and they had their fare share of blow outs, she knows that Carly would never leave Jack or Parker, she knows that something is up? Gosh, I hope that Jack doesn't listen to Julia and takes Camille's word for what it is that something is up. " -Trish
